Frosted Blackberry Bourbon Mule

This Frosted Blackberry Bourbon Mule blends smooth bourbon, spicy ginger beer, and bold blackberry flavor into a cocktail that’s equal parts festive and refined. The finishing touch, sparkling sugar-frosted blackberries and rosemary that turns a simple mule into a true showstopper.

A sophisticated twist on the classic Moscow Mule, this drink balances rich bourbon (or vodka), vibrant blackberry infusion, and effervescent ginger beer. It’s elegant, adaptable, and perfect for celebrations.

Why you’ll love it

Sweet-tart blackberry meets warming bourbon and crisp ginger beer, finished with a beautiful sugared garnish. Swap bourbon for vodka—or skip the alcohol entirely for an easy mocktail—without sacrificing flavor.

What makes it different

Amoretti Blackberry Beverage Infusion delivers bold, authentic blackberry flavor with zero muddling, seeds, or prep. Just one or two pumps provide consistent, peak-ripeness taste year-round.
